I had a similar experience growing up in an evangelical household. Zionism was as important as Christ. It wasn't until adulthood that I had heard that Palestine even existed. Thanks for sharing!

I don’t mind differing opinions. I do mind, however, people not engaging in good faith discussions. It’s so myopic and disingenuous. The cognitive dissonance- like if having an open mind during a discussion might make you change your world view, then maybe you’re on the wrong side of history? 🤔
And thank you for being so open & informative! It’s so nice to be on a platform where I can am rewarded for acknowledging my knowledge gaps instead of screeched at & shamed. I used to only engage in intellectually honest discussions until @ 2015 when it all went downhill.
Likewise! It's soul-healing to not jump straight to arguing like usual. I appreciate your humility and thoughtful questions. It's honestly hard nowadays to not jump directly down other people's throats when everything feels so crazy.
I get it!! I joined a group @2016 that was infiltrated with angry Red-pilled incels, and they jumped down my throat anytime I said anything, pretty much. And then I started responding in kind and then I grew so hated they even had groups dedicated to my devastating blocks and laugh reaccs lol

They wanted me to become enraged and cry but their logical fallacies didn’t work on me and they hated me for it!
